With the current demographics, essentially they are taking it back. Latinos are now the majority in places like Los Angeles, New Mexico, etc. Anglos are now a minority in the state of California.

This will soon be the case in Texas as well.

And to most Americans, this is no problem at all. This is why after living away from the US so long, I have come to appreciate it so. Multiculturalism is hard to come by in most of the world. Immigration and diversity is one example of American exceptionalism that I will always defend.

Throughout history, when a more-efficient (market/commerce-driven) culture moves into an underdeveloped, sparsely-settled territory, the indigenous population of that territory is displaced -- usually by sheer weight of numbers. This happened in northern Mexico, but throughout English-speaking North America, the displacement of the Native tribes by westward expansion (albeit via broken "treaties" and other examples of abuse of government power) provides an even stronger example.

Nothing wrong or immoral about this; just another example of the free play of human interaction at work. Those Latinos are driven by a work ethic and the desire for a better life just like everyone else, and many of them fled an over-structured Mexico that isn't really an open society.

In the New England of years ago, the displacement of "proper Bostonians" by waves of Irish and, later, Eastern and Southern European immigrants, can be viewed as a parallel.

I'm asking this because there seems to be a lot of mexicans who are angry about it.

Because they didn't have the power. America stomped the **** out of them. Knowing what they know now they probably would have made the whole country a part of America. Now these mexicans would rather do it over time under the guise of "we are just coming for a better life!"
